Cam Newton thoughts

Very encouraged by what I saw from Cam yesterday. Mostly short passes, some intermediate, with plenty of zip on the ball. Actually looked a little tighter passes than towards the end of last season.

 

If you think about it, this is the best case scenerio.

Agree, Bradberry made a great play on the pick and there are still some timing issues Cam needs to work out with Shepard on those routes. 

I was focusing on Cam after each throw to see if he was favoring his shoulder in any way and I didn't see any of that - he looked totally comfortable. If you didn't know he had shoulder surgery a few months ago you would have no idea based on his practice yesterday.

The one thing I'm worried about is timing with the receivers... and that SHOULD come (hopefully) with repetition in pre-season.

As long as he's able to keep throwing and there are no "soreness" set-backs (knock on bwood).

Yup, soreness and fatigue are the biggest enemies now. Noticed they only had him throwing the ball in 7 on 7 and 11 on 11. All the other drills where he would normally throw the ball he hung onto it. That's the pitch count they appear to have him on, only throwing the ball in live action.

He's always had zip, his problem is knowing when to take some off, you can't drill a receiver that's 7 yards away with that arm strength he has, it's gonna pop up and be picked every time, but I hope our "evolution " calls for more finesse out of the backfield, I'm excited to see the finished product

Cam looked really good yesterday. Remember one thing, especially admit the Cam pick, everybody knows that Cam won't be throwing deep much. They don't want him to push the shoulder too soon. The defense also knows this

Good point. They're not at all worried about double moves or go routes when Cam is in there.

Maybe taking away some of his god-given physical ability will further help develop the mental aptitude and finer points of passing.  Don't get me wrong, I love the Ed Dickson fire curve ball through 4 defenders, but relying on it gives me indigestion.

      Bryce Speaks

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes I have. Have you? If you know anything about body language which I'm guessing you don't, it communicates what you're really thinking. People lie with words everyday. Very few people have enough control over their bodies to lie with that as well. So, if you want to know the truth, ignore their planned responses and read their body language.  You say he's pissed, I don't see pissed. I see indifference. He shrugs his shoulders like 10 times. What does a shoulder shrug usually mean when we communicate? It means I don't know. No me. Not my problem. etc. Everything he said was dismissed as I don't know, no my problem.  If he were pissed their should have been more aggressive motions and when people are pissed the eyes narrow.  There was non of that. Watch the Dalton video when he got benched in Cinci. He was pissed and his body language shows it. He shakes his head no aggressively when talking about the decision which matches his words that he disagrees with the decision, his eyes narrow and he rocks from side to side leaning in slightly on his right side. That's a sign of aggression which means anger.

      Thursday Night Football. The Patriots are doing it right with their rookie QB.

      well, if you put in stock into Tom Brady's opinions.  He said the young QBs shouldn't be playing.  He said they are setup to lose.  They don't have time to learn how to play QB in the NFL.  So what teams do is they dumb down literally everything for the young QBs and throw them into the fire.  Which for a Bryce is REALLY going to hurt.....because he doesn't even have average physical tools, let alone doesn't have break glass emergency skills to overcome anything.  Brady implied even ones playing well aren't really playing QB at a high level.

      I think we’re past trying to tailor fit an offense for Bryce. He won’t study it or put in extra work during the offseason anyway.
